  • noting that a person is “disabled” for purposes of the ADA if he or she “satisfies any one of these three definitions”
  • concluding defendant did not regard plaintiff as disabled for purposes of ADA where defendant’s recognition of plaintiff’s limitations was recognition of fact, rather than erroneous perception
